Following
the damning report published by the Human Rights Watch about the
alleged sexual assault by some police soldiers, vigilante, and other
government officials on female IDPs in various camps in the North(read here).

President Buhari yesterday instructed the Inspector General of
Police and governor of the states with IDP camps, to investigate the
allegations. President Buhari's instruction is contained in a statement
released by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Shehu
Garba. Read the statement after the cut...

President
Muhammadu Buhari is worried and shocked by the recently released Human
Rights Watch (HRW) report which alleges sexual abuse and exploitation of
women and girls in camps for those displaced by the Boko Haram
insurgency.

The
welfare of these most vulnerable of Nigerian citizens has been a
priority of his government. Nigerians and the international community
can rest assured that the allegations raised in the HRW are not being taken lightly.

President
Buhari has instructed the Inspector General of Police and the state
governors of the affected states to immediately commence investigations
into the issue. Their findings will determine the next course of action
for the government and define an appropriate response.

While
the Nigerian military continues to work hard so that these unfortunate
victims of Boko Haram terrorism can soon return safely to their homes,
the government will do its best to ensure their protection and welfare
in the temporary IDP camps.
